Two negroes demanded admittance
to the house of Patrick Glenn, of
Louisville. Only his mother and sis
ter were at home, and they wouldn't
let him in. They then broke down
the door and were about to rush in,
when Miss Glenn pointed large pis-
toll at them and said she would shoot
if they came further. One ran away
and the other was about to, but she
told him to stand still, and thus held
him until a policeman came.

hon and whose efforts seemed to be
mischievously directed in hiding from.
her father, who in reply to a question
said the little girl had been his travel
ing companion ever since she was
nine months:old and had never been
sick, although constantly exposed to
the many changes incident to a life
on the rail. He said he lived at Fort
Wayne. Indiana, and his business was
that Of a car-traccr. He travelled in
every direction in search of lost cars
and was liable to be ordered off at
a moments notice. After search of
many days he had just found one of
the Fort Wayne cas- on siding near
the Chester, Valley Station. The little
girl was only three years and eight
months old. Her mother was power
less to control the child. and as soon az
she heard her father had been ordered
off she picked up her little satchel to be
ready for the journey. They were
privileged to board any train. whether
limited, accommodation, local or freight,
and if they could not find quarters in
the cabin of the latter they rode on the
engine, where she slept as nicely as on
the softest bed of down.
